Baum Hedlund Lawyers Drastically Improve the Life of a Severely Injured Chinese Lead Flight Attendant

Imagine
being confined to a hospital bed with a feeding tube inserted through your
abdomen into your stomach, through which you receive all your nutrition. You
can't eat food because you can't swallow. You are severely brain damaged such
that your mental capacity and ability to function is like that of a 6-year old
child. But you are a 34-year old, attractive, Chinese woman, married with a
child. You had an exciting career as a lead flight attendant on an
international airline. You loved traveling and seeing the world. Add to this
the fact that your doctors in Shanghai are giving you the grim prognosis that
you will always require the feeding tube to stay alive, you will have to live
in a hospital bed for the rest of your life, you won't be able to walk, and your
brain injuries are permanent. This was the nightmare confronting Ms. Li Na Li,
who was the lead flight attendant on China Eastern Airlines Flight 583 on April

was independently provided. The tourists were being taken to Ketchikan from the
Misty Fjords National Monument area at around 12:21 pm local time when the two
small planes—both float-equipped—collided at approximately 3,350 feet.

Hundreds of
passengers aboard a Viking Ocean Cruises ship experienced a dramatic rescue by
helicopter, with several later hospitalized, when the Viking Sky suffered
engine failure in the middle of incredibly stormy seas. Passengers told
reporters about their harrowing ordeals, either of being airlifted off the
listing ship in the darkness or remaining onboard and praying the vessel did
not sink. Officials are now questioning why the ship was in the sea at all,
given warnings about stormy weather, and how multiple engines failed at the
same time. Given the
number of people onboard the Viking Sky when its engines failed, it is
incredibly lucky that there were not more severe injuries, a common concern in boating accidents. What
Happened on the Viking Sky? On March
14, the Viking Sky cruise ship began a 12-day voyage from the city of Bergen,
in Norway. After it left the city of Tromso, on its way to Stavanger, the
ship's four engines shut down as the vessel encountered a massive storm…
